00:00Are you going to stand there like a lemon or buy a girl a drink?

00:10I'm not stopping her. I just want a can.

00:13And I want Bruce White, snaked with a Bruce in his gun.

00:17I expect he's cocked off for Christmas alone. Pity.

00:23Die hard.

00:26Yeah, mate.

00:27Good.

00:30Oh, Trace, a pint, please, and a large G&C for me.

00:35Peggy says they're on the house.

00:37She's upstairs. I'll check, shall I?

00:45Do you want to tell me why it's so important to get that can?

00:52I just need to get away.

00:54Oh, don't tell me. Christmas, arguments.

00:56Debbie hasn't slung you out, has she?

01:01Oh, well, if you need, I'll...

01:03I'll go and have a word with her.

01:10I could sling him out.

01:13Three pints of lager and he thinks he's old with no eyes.

01:16Just wait for my dad, boy.

01:21Oh, dear.

01:24But he's here, he's very in the light.

01:28Try to imagine

01:30a house that's not a wonder.

01:33Don't worry, don't worry

01:37Things aren't always as bad as they seem

01:41That's where I'll be since you left me

01:46My tears could melt the snow

01:49What can I do without you?

01:54I've got no place, no place to go

01:57It'll be worse

01:59It's Christmas without you to hold

02:05It'll be lonely

02:07It's Christmas lonely and cold

02:12It'll be cold, cold, cold

02:17Without you to hold

02:21It's Christmas

02:29It's Nigel coming back

02:31Oh yeah, yeah, of course

02:32It's been about five minutes, that's all

02:35Something tells me I won't be lonely

02:49It's Christmas

02:50You must have seen that gorgeous redhead giving me the eye back there

02:55Couldn't take her eyes at me when I was singing

02:57I was a snake charmer and she was a python writhing in front of me

03:02Okay, yeah

03:03I must have seen a little type of snake look at it

03:07To use it

03:08A python wouldn't fit in the basket

03:11Unless it was a pretty large basket

03:14Or a very smooth python

03:17You are missing the point, Nigel

03:19I am in

03:20In like Flynn, my friend

03:23It's just more like that

03:28I haven't had a sniff since my fears that I was a boy

03:31I've got that Sarah

03:33Lisa

03:34Me and Flesh is in a pan of love, old chum

03:37Me and birds

03:38I've never seen some more again

03:40If I hadn't found someone, I'm sure you came too

03:45Yes, and knowing my luck should be some kind of psycho

03:48And I wish I'd stayed single

03:49And it'd just be nice

03:52You know, to

03:53To have someone special at this time of year

03:57Coming in with another laugh

04:00Talk about the year, the memories you've shared

04:03Something to buy a present for

04:06That kind of thing

04:09Anyway, what did you buy for Debbie now?

04:13I don't know

04:17You're going to be in your doghouse again

04:18I mean, I did get her a present

04:22And I wrapped it up

04:24I gave it a fill in case I forgot

04:28So, Nigel

04:30What did you give her that ape for?

04:32It's my friend

04:33I think you were closer to this psycho, brother

04:37You cheating kid

04:40Where are you going?

04:47Hey, stay here with me

04:48I've done this a favour, Nigel

04:56Give him a smoke

04:57His foot was over the line when he took his phone

04:59Admit it

05:00His foot was over the line

05:02Right?

05:04Right?

05:05Come on

05:06Right?

05:06Look at you

05:07Lionel Flaming Blair

05:09We're going to do a dance with her death

05:10Look, I'm going to take it down

05:12Nice and easy

05:13Yeah

05:14You learn those dance steps on the front lines?

05:16Eh?

05:17Archie's teaching how to tango

05:18Just stop, will you?

05:27It's Christmas night

05:28Why are you messing about?

05:33Is it okay?

05:33I don't think we would be randomly wandering around disemboweling people

06:01Right

06:02Well, I'm going to go home and wrap your presents

06:05So good luck, Troy

06:06It's nothing

06:15So I'm going to go and look for Nige

06:18Stay here, just in case you come to me

06:21No, I'm not getting involved in another one of your hairbrushes

06:35You haven't got to do nothing

06:36All you've got to do is sit in the car

06:38Watch way loud out the turns

06:39Or we'll be in and out in ten minutes

06:41So you want me to get my driver for a turkey hoist?

06:46Oh, you're safe

06:47Well, we would

06:49But we're six parts dead

06:51Merry Christmas

06:53Yeah

06:54Merry Christmas

06:55Right now

06:56Now, there is something I wouldn't mind

07:05If I'm wrapped up under the tree

07:07One of us should get a number

07:09Put some other mug tips on it

07:12Yeah

07:13One of us should

07:15It's all yours

07:23To the victim

07:31The spawns

07:32Don't worry, brother

07:37Plenty more fish in the sea

07:39You won

07:47Why did you make it that you lost?

07:51It'd have soaps all night, have I

07:52Plus I've

07:54It's got mum's voice in the air

07:56Back in my head

07:57Have a name

07:59A woman

07:59Come between you

08:01Your brothers

08:02Are you alright?

08:11I'm so jumbled up in my brain

08:15Am I going match?

08:19I don't know how to go in this

08:21I think if I could just find Debbie's presence and think I'd be okay

08:27I think everything would make sense

08:31I'm sure I gave it to you, Phil

08:33You did

08:34I don't know if you're lying to me

08:37And why would I lie?

08:38I don't know

08:39Because you promised that you'd look after me

08:43Then I will

08:53To the end

08:55Well, if he does come in, just give us a call

09:02Oh, Jess

09:03It's film night tonight

09:05Yeah, yeah

09:06It's film night tonight

09:08He's probably just near the side

09:12But I can't find him

09:14And you think I don't know when you're lying to me

09:16You're not going anywhere until you tell me what's really going on

09:30She won't like it, you know

09:32I won't

09:34I'll notice it

09:36It's Peggy

09:36Runs the tight ship

09:38She don't approve of lock-ins

09:40What time is it?

09:44Does it matter?

09:47I don't know

09:48I just feel like I need to get back

09:51I hope you've brought my mate to present

09:53Said he did, but he lost it

09:55He didn't

09:56He missed it

09:59I think I didn't

10:00I must have made a mistake

10:02What was it?

10:03Nice pair of earrings

10:04I don't know

10:08I just

10:09Know that it's gone

10:12You're always losing things these days, aren't you, Nigel?

10:16Forgetting things

10:17You've become a burden

10:19No wonder Julie's tired of it all

10:22Julie?

10:24No

10:25Debbie

10:25It's always been Debbie, hasn't it?

10:31And now you've lost her

10:33But that's the thing about losing things, Nigel

10:38You can always find them again

10:40Fire

10:50Feels like fire

10:56I'm so in love with you

11:01Dreams are like illusions

11:06They keep

11:08You don't need me anywhere, you know it

11:10Love is bright

11:14Skinny

11:16Darkness away

11:18I'm so in love with you

11:25Purdy soul

11:27Make love

11:32Make love

11:32Your goal

11:35The power of love

11:41You don't know what you're talking about

11:44Most of the time he's fine, you know

11:46He just goes about his business like normal

11:48And when he does flare up

11:49I can handle him

11:51Yes, yeah, you probably can

11:53But that don't mean you should

11:55Bill, come on

11:58You want to enjoy the best of him, don't you?

12:00So why not let the professionals do the difficult stuff?

12:06I mean, tell me Julie

12:06She wants to bang up in the care home and all

12:08Oh, come on

12:09We're not talking Belmarsh here

12:11You know, there are some really good ones out there

12:14If he goes in the care home now

12:15It'll just go down in quickly

12:17It doesn't have to be permanent, you know

12:20I don't mind that

12:20I'll promise

12:22I'll have to call a trip

12:23And that is exactly what I'm going to do

12:25I'm sure you won't pick her up

12:36After talking and all the trimmings

12:39It's not every day you get invited around someone's house

12:42On Christmas Day

12:43It's good of Carol to ask us

12:46Anyway, we'll have fun

12:48Claire will be there

12:49And we did say she could see Janine

12:51Fine

12:52I'd have Christmas dinner with O.J. Simpson

12:54It made you

12:56I want you to be happy too

12:59I am

12:59It's a special present

13:04I mean, I don't know

13:05I bought you something

13:06But I just kind of seem to find it

13:09No, it doesn't matter

13:10No, but it was important

13:12It was special

13:15It had meaning

13:16Something for you to look at

13:19And remember me by

13:22When I'm gone

13:24Gone?

13:27What gone?

13:28Where are you going?

13:29I don't know

13:30Look, why would I need someone to remember you by?

13:36You're here

13:37You're with me

13:39And I can look at that lovely face whenever I want to

13:43You know you've been up for my life, don't you?

13:49You'll always be with me

13:51Listen

13:59I want that to be true

14:05I just

14:08I don't think it is

14:09I don't think you will always be with me

14:13You want to get rid of me?

14:18What?

14:18No, it's alright

14:19You don't need to lie

14:20I know how hard it's been for you

14:24But I just

14:25I don't know what I thought

14:29I suppose I thought you loved me more than that

14:36Nigel

14:38Please

14:39Nigel, please

14:40Nigel

14:43Hey

14:46Hey, it's okay

15:01You're going to be okay

15:02I'm sorry, Alice

15:03It just matters

15:04It doesn't matter to me

15:06It's important

15:08It means something

15:10Nigel, sweetheart

15:11You really need to calm down, okay?

15:13Then we're going to go home

15:15And then everything's going to be okay

15:17Move

15:20About what you thought you heard

15:22About the day home

15:23But no decisions been made yet

15:24All we were doing

15:25We were just talking through options

15:28No, you haven't let me down

15:30This was supposed to be our best Christmas ever

15:33Our first Christmas as husband and wife

15:36Nigel, we've been married for over 20 years

16:29No, I'm not him

16:30No, you've forgotten him

16:31I watched him

16:33Before you came in

16:35He was talking to himself

16:39He was dancing

16:41I don't know where he was

16:44But he wasn't here

16:45He thought I was Debbie

16:49He was talking about

16:54A present

16:55He was really important

16:57Some present that he'd lost

16:59I don't know whether it was for Debbie

17:00Or for me

17:00I don't know

17:01He gave me this for safekeeping

17:03I think in case he forgot

17:06Which looks like he did

17:08But, um

17:12You stay or I

17:14Maybe a column

17:15Thank you, Coy

17:16I'm gonna go and see Alfie

17:17He's got the keys in his bow

17:18Let's get in there before

17:20Before he bumps that door

17:22I need to get over to think

17:39Nigel's locked himself in

17:41How do you get in

17:43Something else

17:44I'll still be like

17:45I don't think you answered your own

24:18Is he

24:25Do you have a thing

24:27Yeah

24:29He's fine

24:29I think I owe you an apology

24:47You know

24:50When you first came here

24:50I had a go at you

24:51Because

24:52He was burying your head in the sand

24:54You couldn't see

24:55How bad it could get

24:57But now here we are

24:58Here we are

25:01And I'm the one

25:01Who's

25:02Burying the head in the sand

25:04I see you

25:05All I'm saying

25:06Talk to Kathy

25:10Tonight

25:12And

25:12She thinks that

25:14Nigel might get more out of us

25:15You know

25:15If

25:16If we're not

25:18Doing all the donkey work

25:19You know

25:20We get more out of him

25:23We get the best out of him

25:23And he get the best out of us

25:25You know

25:25So maybe

25:25Maybe it's time

25:31To look at the

25:33The car

25:35And

25:37Just took one conversation

25:38With Kathy

25:38For you to take away

25:39No

25:40It wasn't her

25:41It was him

25:43That

25:43That film of this

25:47It's like

25:49It's like

25:51He was

25:51Trying to tell me something

25:53Or maybe he won't

25:56I don't know

25:56Just

25:56But

25:58Well that's what I saw anyway

25:59It was like

26:00He was

26:00Talking

26:01To me

26:02You know

26:05I don't

26:05I don't think

26:07He wants this

26:07He never

26:08He never wanted to be a burden

26:09You know

26:09And I think that's

26:10That's what's stressing him

26:12So

26:15I

26:15I talked to him

26:18Yeah

26:20I mean I'm the

26:21I'm the one that made him the promise

26:25And I'm going to be the one that's breaking it

26:28So

26:28It's got to be me

26:29I've got us a couple of toasties

26:46Mate

26:46I thought we were going to eat them outside

26:49So

26:49Jimmy don't tell us off

26:50I know

26:51I think that's all

27:01I think that's all

27:02time
